Atmosphere at the KP

[BenTheFox]

Really not enjoying it atm. The whole match day experience that the club is pedalling is so off-putting. The pre-match music gets louder every week.

Congratulations lads in sk1 for singing some really classless shite about clough being fat and dead. 

 

Spare the outrage when forest do the same about our late chairman. 

 

Bellends

And for scrapping amongst themselves after booing the players on the lap at the end 

[walkerleeds]

If you're not happy, I urge you to let the club know.

 

The more pressure put on the club to make a change on this, the better.

 

1) Turn the music down pre/ post match

2) Scrap goal music

3) Most importantly, organise a designated singing section for likeminded fans to congregate.

 

It's really not hard.

Until the club are arsed and try to help the situation it's going to remain like this. It's not like sections of the fanbase haven't been trying.

[lebleu]

If the club aren't listening maybe a form of protest is the only step left. If L1 & UFS boycotted matches until suggestions are listened to and responded by the club?

[worth_the_wait]

I wish some people would stop commenting on the atmosphere after every game.   What's the point?

 

It's always up and down ... good against Liverpool, then a few weeks later not so good against Brighton.

 

It was ever thus.   go back 30, 40, 50 years ... it was great against some teams, and  s h i t  against others.

Goal music and pre game "hype" music was obnoxiously loud. Used to think people were just moaning, but no it's actually awful.

Weird thing is, I actually thought it wasn't as loud today. Perhaps my hearing has been impaired following previous matches. 

 

Didnt notice any AC/DC or Bon Jovi (or whatever it is) shite pre-match unless I've tuned out from it. There was the techno stuff though.

It even got mentioned in The Guardian write up today.

What has happened to paul and his horn? Things have gone down hill since we lost the horn 

[RonnieTodger]

Even going back to 2009 with shitty 10 seconds of hey Jude pre-game was better.

 

there’s nothing organic or visceral anymore. Completely manufactured.

If we'd been formed six years ago you'd think we'd been made solely for the purposes of modern football.

[Vestan Pance]

I know this might be going against the grain but isn't it time we stopped making the PL win the centre piece of the pre-match video? It's time to move on, for me we're in danger of turning into Fo##st with the constant referral to it.

 

I love the traditions and remembering the past but I feel it's not helping the team or the fans move forward.

I know it's miserable and not living in the present but my god my longing for those 3pm Saturday kick offs under Little/O Neil are seemingly in my head more and more.

 

The build up, anticipation, every club belting out original songs,  the ever growing knife edge atmosphere building between Sk1 and the away support. 

 

I really do miss it so much

People don’t like to admit it but King Power have ruined the match day experience. This is what you get when billionaires run the club. Idiots who have no idea about football running the day to day side of things. Especially match days, they want you to buy replica shirts, eat your popcorn and clap along with your clapper. They want the American style atmosphere with no swearing and plenty of families and goal music celebrations. Not just us btw. Most clubs in the premier league have sold their souls for foreigners to take over their clubs. Problem is unlike abroad we don’t have any fan culture to protest it. I genuinely could stop going football and not be bothered. I never thought I would say that. I’d happily go back to the Craig Levein days and never have won fcuk all. The price you pay for success. 

[Wymsey]

The club seems to have supporters who don't like certain ones in places.

Same old shite. Try to get things going in G1 or join in with the SK1 lot and get looked at like we’re weird for trying to get an atmosphere.  Same people who leave on 80 minutes as well.

Is it just because they are wanting to appeal to families? Because I have news for them... families would go to Leicester if we didn't have clappers, goal music, t-shirt cannons, pre-match music blasted out at 110dB regardless of where you in the ground, someone playing Ed Sheeran covers outside etc. 

[Old git]

Lots of the usual ideas here and also lots of people blaming the club.

 

We all have our opinions how to improve the atmosphere, for what they’re worth, here’s mine. I don’t expect you all to agree, it’s just my point of view as an old git that still shouts, chants and sings 👍 

 

The thing is, we the supporters can do something about it.

1. Stop using drums.  They are often played at the wrong speed, they are ‘banged’ during chants that don’t need a drum as the chants are so simple and they are tinpot.

2. Union FS and those in the Kop who actually want to sing, at the end of this season, move your season tickets to L1 and/or the P and P1 (blocks which are no longer part of the Family stand).  Let’s concentrate the singers together.

No matter how goods Union FS think they are, you rarely here them if you move a few blocks away from them, apart from the drum and a dull murmur of songs. Don’t get me wrong, I do appreciate that they are at least making an effort, but they just don’t have the numbers where they are.

3. If you’re in L1, P or P2 just don’t use the clappers, use your bloody hands!!  I’m not a fan of the clappers, however, if they get the families joining in, fair enough, leave the clappers in the family stand and main stand.

4. Ditch songs that just don’t work, the ones for Maddison and Daka are just not catching on.  Keep things simple, people join in.

5. Okay, one which is very specific here, but I think this is important as it gives an identity to the club as it is a song that is only associated with Leicester city.  All other songs/chants are copied/shared/pinched between clubs.

 

Learn how to sing ‘When You’re Smiling’ properly!  For gods sake it’s not a race!  Listen to the Frank Sinatra version!

Apologies if that comes across as a moan, didn’t mean to.  I think at times our atmosphere can be good, but clearly it could be better 👍COYB💙🦊⚽️

That overlong rave tune they play just before the teams come out this season absolutely does not work. 

[smudger63]

First thing the club can do is scrap the chuffing goal music. It's actually started to stop my enjoyment of a goal now, in much the same way as chuffing VAR  has. Now I'm not only waiting for VAR to rule every goal out, I'm waiting for the chuffing goal music to stop!

Totally agree. The Premier league as a whole is so sanitised, the product is eating itself.

I’ve been over to Peterborough a couple of times this season, thoroughly enjoyable. No goal music, pre match music not deafening, mud on the pitch, old school ground & match day experience in general.
Although having Sky/BT, am l part of the Premier League ‘issue’ ? 

[adam]

It's the music before the game. You can't here yourself think. Can't have a chat to your mates before hand so people use the first 20 mins of the game for a catch up

 

 

[FuriousFox46]

One thing I’d like to see the club do more is embrace our tradition.

 

We’re one of the more historic clubs in the league, yet everything about our match day experience paints us as top-flight novices like Brighton or Bournemouth.

 

I’d like to see goal music binned because it really does just serve to signal a beginning and end to celebration. And, I’d like to see more traditional songs being played. 
 

Perhaps from the Filbert Street Blues album or a rendition of When You’re Smiling that isn’t that god awful Jersey Budd version.

[FuriousFox46]

Oh, and swap the kop with the family stand
